Maj. F. w. Benteen, 9th Cavalry, who was
charged with drunkenness at Fort Duquesne
has been received at the War Department
for action by the President. This means
that his sentence is dismissal. 1t is
thought very likely, however, that the
dent. 1t is understood that the Court
recommends cemency, and this together
with other strong influences in his favor,
will probably prevent one of the bravest
officers in the army from being relocated
to private life.

Colonel Woodford's Temperance Leo
ture.
The second OF Col. George Woodford's
temperance lectures, given az the M. e.
church last evening, was listened too by
q large and appreoiative audience. The
subject of the discourse was abstinence
and the speakers presentation of that
phase Of the temperance question was
entertaining and to many so conclusive
thst q large list of signers to the pledge
were procured. Two forms of pledge are
in use, one for those desiring to abstain
from the use of alcohol as q beverage,
and another for those who desire to be
total abstainers from everything OF an
Intoxicating nature. and also from the
use of tobacco. The pledge presented
last night reads as follows:
II will, God helping me, abstain from
all alcoholic beverages. and discourage
their use, manufacture aud SALE"
The other form reads thus:
81 will, God helping me, abstain from
all alcoholic beverages-wine, beer and
older included-and discourage their
use, manufacture and sale. / will also
abstain from the use Of tobacco in every
form and from all profanity"
Col. Woodford lectures this evening
again.

REV. C. r. cLAPp.

Expressive of Love and
Appreciation.
AT meeting of the Congregational
church which accepted Mr.. Clapp's
resignation, the following testimonial
was voted:
WHEREAS, Our pastor, the Rev. @. T.
Olapp, has rendered his resignation to
this church and the same has been ac-
cepted, We wish, before q complete
BundeTins CT these ties, SC put On record
this expression of our love for him and
our appreciation of his labors.
During the four years of his passionate
with us, by his faithful oounsels, his
conservation to the work of the Master,
his intense longing and efforts to win
men from the power of Satan unto God,
by his pure life and large sympathies,
he has made the years memorable in the
history of this church. and has endeared
himself to christians u all denomIna-
tions throughout tn community and
territory.
The following facts will show in some
degree the growth and present condition
of the work: Our membership has en-
larged from 234 to 1876, and of the 256
additions, 1859 have been by profession
OF faith. The Sunday school has in.
creased nearly three.fold, having an at
tendance of over three hundred; the
church prayer meeting, beginning with
an average of IS, now averages more
than a hundred; q Young peoples meet
ing has been organized which hes be.
come o wonderful power for good, and
Is attended by an average of 81, and
from it's active members workers have
gone out into all the country districts
about, the benevolences have increased
from about $500 per annum to more
than $1,000, and our foreign population
has been reached and made to feel thai
| this church warmly welcomes from every
nation and tongue, men who love oul
| common Savior.
As our pastor leaves us with such
good record, we shall follow him witt
thoughts of affection and with earnes,
hopes and prayers for his continued sue
! cess wherever God may call him.
May the Holy Spirit direct him in al
his ways, bidding him 60 to others as hi
came to us, in the fullness of the bless.
ing Of the gospel Of Christ.

pathies of our republican heart because
he is one of the hard worked and poorly
compensated fraternity. The present
incumbent is q newspaper man aud was
appointed upon the recommendation of

to keep n place for the journalistic
